I have had a difficult time finding â€œqualifiedï¿½ï¿½ homes for some of the pups from our Rumble X Jootie breeding. Itâ€™s not that I havenâ€™t had enough offers to take the pups. We have had every yahoo want a pup. Most want the pup for the wrong reason. Some offers have even been for THOUSANDS of dollars. I assure you itâ€™s not the money. I want to find qualified WORKING homes for these pups. One of the pups is going to a working IPO home in Poland and another to weight pull home in Denmark.

Finding any meathead to take an APBT pup is easy! Finding a great home for an APBT pup is hard enough. Finding REAL WORKING homes for these pups has proven to be most difficult.

What is a real working home? A home with a person or persons that actually does things with their dog like agility, Schutzhund, Weight Pull, French Ringsport, competitive obedience etc. Not a person or persons that say they are going to do a sport just to get a pup. I cannot express how much these pups mean to me and my family. Donating their father Rumble to the Clay County Sheriffs Department was EXTREMELY difficult. We donated Rumble because we wanted to give all APBT owners a chance to point to an APBT on a Police Department doing great things for a community and say I own that same breed. Or â€œSee what an APBT can do in responsible hands!â€

... that is a very generous offer... but do you know how HARD it is to find places where they will actually give an APBT pup a chance at those activities?
I haven't found one place in my whole county where they will even allow an APBT owner to join a club.

I hope your pups end up in good hands... and I would LOVE to see some pics...

Chris... I am fairly new, so I don't know you... are you a professional trainer? What type of training do you do, and what methods do you prefer... and why?
I am ALWAYS picking peoples brains about my difficulties w/my own dog... I turned him into a beast w/issues, and am now trying to undo some of the "damage"... but it's a long and winding road...

I can't presume to speak for Chris, but if I run into a problem that I can't figure out myself he is near the top of the very short list of trainers I would call for help.
